Asked By:Dreya160 in Encino, CA

5 days post op my right ear developed a blood blister with clear liquid? My PS called it that, It was extremely uncomfortable due to wearing a headband 24/7. After 4-5 days PS and popped it, then it scabbed (which I have not seen anywhere Post op) 4 weeks out my fold is protruding and looks unnatural. My PS said its swollen but will subsided. No improvement yet only improvement are scabs fading. Other ear looks great swelling has gone down I'm worried I might need surgery again on my right ear?
